In 2017 Northeastern Illinois University will celebrate its sesquicentennial. Throughout our history we have remained resolute in our commitment to meeting the needs of each new generation of students. Today, greater emphasis on accountability is being placed on public higher education. Even as the University has earned national recognition for the success of our graduates and the quality of our programs, we must focus our efforts not only on continued excellence, but also on demonstrating that excellence. This plan will guide our work both intellectually and pragmatically as we align our various resources to achieve our goals within the context of a vibrant and dynamic university, preparing our graduates for success in a global society. The Strategic Plan publicly proclaims our commitment to these goals and the measures by which we will hold ourselves accountable, affirming Northeastern Illinois University's critical role as a comprehensive metropolitan university.
Scholars, pundits, and citizens know Illinois is at the forefront of corruption, as reported in the popular fact that four out of the last eight governors of Illinois have spent time in federal prison. We chalk up corruption to officials misusing their public role for their own private good. However, when we talk about corruption, even when we use inclusive language, we see the actor as a man, as corruption occurring in old-boys networks, and in dark and hidden backrooms of Springfield and Chicago, full of kickbacks and cigar smoke. What is missing from that analysis is an examination of the types of corruption that occur when we look at women in public positions and the corrupt acts they engage in. Illinois also ranks highly on several factors that measure the number of women in political positions of power (Center for American Women and Politics 2015), and so the question is raised: what is the role of women when it comes to corruption?
The 2014 Governors race in Illinois featured two candidates who are the epitome of campaigns for high office in America today. In addition, the race also illustrated the major trends, driven by big money and big media, which are shaping our politics in the 21st century. This paper examines and analyzes the governors race in order to learn what it teaches us about politics in Illinois, and in the United States midway through the second decade of this century.

The unique needs of women in the context of disaster have been largely overlooked in disaster management. For this reason, women have been hard-hit by natural disasters in the United States and internationally. However, by learning from the mistakes of the past, the negative effects of disasters on women may be mitigated through disaster management that is sensitive to the different needs and experiences of women and men.
